spanking a student can only be done by an employee of the same sex. jada says not only was she paddled by a male vice principal, it was observed by a male police officer. >> two men giving her a swat behind closed doors that is creepy. >> reporter: ryan owens, abc news, texas. >> the whole thing is crazy. >> the whole thing is crazy. >> not just crazy that a man is doing it. it is crazy to allow anyone to hit your child. >> there are people who will disagree. i will have to say -- i agree. crazy the concept. creepy in a smaller way. >> yeah, i just -- listen, the academy of pediatricians has come out against spanking. they say it's not healthy. and i always thought -- and i prosecuted cases of child abuse, a lot of them involving spanking. what was interesting to me is if an adult doesn't agree with an adult and then hits the other adult, that's an assault.

but an adult can do that to a child, someone who can't even protect themselves, who is not as strong as the adult. it just doesn't make sense, people. >> well, you're preaching to the choir. there will be people out there who say, "spare the rod, spare the child." from now on parents will have to opt into authorized corporal punishment, choose whether they want a male or female staff member to administer the punishment. >> but what's fascinating is this school district has gotten into trouble in the past for corporal punishment. it clearly has. learned a lesson. in 2007 a middle school coach paddled a 12-year-old boy, so hard it left a large bruise on his thigh, which tells me that it was an assault. and spurring them to restrict paddling to administrators. teachers can't do it. just administrators. and now administrators can do it, female on female violence. and male on male violence. >> "the star telegram" paper out of dallas, said this district has more spankings than any other district in the dallas-ft.

inside cuba, aimed at the u.s. >> how far advanced is this? >> sir, we've never seen this kind of installation before. >> even in the soviet union? >> no, sir. >> which leaves me only one alternative. >> reporter: but nowhere are the tapes more moving and revealing than as the secret witness to the struggle for civil rights. the great moral issue tearing the country apart. and after a young man named james meredith creates a crisis by enrolling in the all-white university of mississippi. >> mr. president, please, why don't you -- can't you give an order to remove him? >> how can i remove him, governor, when there's a riot in the streets. >> i took an oath. you know what the laws are. >> well, of course, the problem

now. >> some are like ovarian cancer. that may lead some doctors to treat the cancers with other drugs. >> this is a very important roadmap of the genes that go wrong. >> but, cautions dr. larry norton of new york's memorial sloan kerting cancer center, the roadmap isn't complete. >> it's like a map that has all the cities, villages, and towns, but it doesn't have all the roads and the bridges and the stop signs. so there's a lot that we have to do to connect the dots. >> experts say that for now, most breast cancer patients will have to wait for clinical trials and dozens of drug studies. that process can take ten years or more. paul beban, abc news, new york. >> another ten years? i mean -- >> it seems like a long time, doesn't it? >> seems like a long time when you're talking 40,000 women that have died. according to many breast cancer experts these findings confirm that cancers need to be treated according to their genetic components rather than their location in the body. and so at least that sort of

advances the research a bit further, i think. >> outstanding. coming up -- the all-star stars. ir location in the body. so, at least that sort of advances the research a bit further i thin tick. >> outstanding. coming up, the all-star, stars. it's time to change the way we clean. it's time to free ourselves from the smell and harshness of bleach. and free ourselves from worrying about the ones we love. new lysol power & free has more cleaning power than bleach. how? the secret is the hydrogen peroxide formula. it attacks tough stains and kills 99.9% of germs. new lysol power & free. powerful cleaning that's family friendly. another step forward in our mission for health.

done by an employee of the same sex. jada says not only was she paddled by a male vice principal, it was observed by a male police officer. >> two men giving her a swat behind closed doors, that is creepy. >> reporter: ryan owens, abc news, texas. >> the whole thing is crazy. >> the whole thing is crazy. >> it's not just crazy that a man is doing it. it is crazy to allow anyone to hit your child. >> there are people who will disagree, but i will have to say i agree. crazy the concept. creepy in a smaller way. >> yeah, i just -- listen, the academy of pediatricians has come out against spanking. they say it's not healthy. and i always thought -- and i prosecuted cases of child abuse, a lot of them involving spanking. what was interesting to me is if an adult doesn't agree with an adult and then hits the other adult, that's an assault. >> right. >> but an adult can do that to a

child, someone who can't even protect themselves, who is not as strong as the adult. it just doesn't make sense, people. >> well, you're preaching to the choir. there will be people out there who say, "spare the rod, spare the child." and everybody has their opinion. but from now on, parents will have to opt into authorized corporal punishment, choose whether they want a male or female staff member to administer the punishment. >> but what's fascinating is this school district has gotten into trouble in the past for corporal punishment. it clearly has. learned a lesson. in 2007 a middle school coach paddled a 12-year-old boy so hard that it left a large bruise on his thigh, which tells me that it was an assault, spurring them to restrict paddling to administrators. teachers can't do it. just administrators. and now administrators can do it, female on female violence. and male on male violence. >> the "star-telegram" paper out of dallas said this district has more spankings than any other district in the dallas-ft. worth area. where there's smoke, there's fire maybe. you know? >> i'm sure people are going to tweet us.
